openstreetmap not working, 403 access denied from tile server

r00t- commented 5 years ago

as of 2019-05-28, tile.openstreetmap.org is rejecting requests from rmaps. there does not seem to be active development of rmaps, but your fork is also affected. i am not aware of the exact policies for access to tile.openstreetmap.org, but the main reason would appear to be that it uses a generic android user agent, instead of identifying itself as rmaps.

a request/response as sniffed with a proxy setup:

this had been "fixed", the tile-servers accept the requests again. (the issue of being in violation of the policy by not setting a custom user-agent remains.)
